Travis,
nothing is coming out of order.
Instead the game presents a series of characters,
however the /q, Which i was told presents  help information fails.
further, zoom is a magnifier program.
In short none of your information matches my experiences.
given the several screen reading programs, to generalize seems counterproductive speaking personally.

If it isn't making sense to the screen reader, because things are coming across out of order, because how they're put on the screen, then you're going to have to do more than just adjust your screeen reader.  Tell it to ignore the screen content coming from the bios, then have it read the screen lines from display memory. That's the only way you're going to have it read things in an order that makes sense.  Can your screen reader do that?

Maybe, if you can use screen zones, and create windows to ignore content by default.  If you can't figure out how to do those things, then this game won't make any sense to your screen reader.

As I said, a simple recoding of the game to use standard C functions, and only update the screen when necessary instead of using interrupt calls to put things on the screen would go a long way toward making it screen reader friendly, but since you know more about how to program than I do apparently, and have a screen reader that is so magical it can rearrange the way things are put on the screen, you have at it.  I apologize for trying to assist. Trust me, I won't do it again, because every time I try to help you, there's always backlash.  I've got better things to do with my time.

 Travis,
 That statement is incorrect.
 My personal screen reader allows me to make adjustments.
 However, with no documentation, and  so forth,  knowing what is to
 happen with this game is unclear.
